Yang's Braised Chicken Rice

Yesterday was the first time in this fine restaurant. But It is definitely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the excellent service, with the superb food and wine and with the friendly charge. We will definitely come back in a short time.

Recently this Yang’s chicken opened so many stores everywhere. I was really curious about what exactly makes this chicken so famous.

They have an extremely simple menu: mild, regular, or spicy chicken bowl. As a Chinese person who loves spicy food, I have to warn you, their spicy level is really spicy. I recommend regular spicy, so that you can still taste the original flavor.

The sauce is tasty and I can easily finish it with a bowl of rice. However, it kinda tastes like homemade food that you could just recreate at home. So I’m not sure why this is getting so popular. There is a similar restaurant called 真功夫 (zhen kungfu) in China that provides fast and tasty meals. But 真功夫offers 6-8 meal choices rather than just one chicken bowl.

I recommend to try it once!! But I’m not sure I will be craving this on a daily basis.

Very clean storefront, friendly staff. Compliments to having such a great view of the clean kitchen! This Chinese company has over 6000 stores worldwide.
Not many people at this location, but the ones that were here were native Chinese .... It's an extremely popular meal in China!
Location is in the back corner of the shopping center behind Sizzler and down from O'Reilly Auto Parts.

The authentic chicken bowl had great flavor of ginger, mushrooms and thinly sliced Chinese peppers. Definitely get the regular if you can't do spicy. Very large portion of chicken stir fry, and a side of sticky white rice, probably 2 cups! There is another spicy version, too... Can't imagine!

The price is high if you think "chicken bowl", like flame broiler or Jack in the box, etc. But this chicken bowl is almost twice the size of those, and I found it to be much more flavorful than the run of the mill chicken teriyaki bowls found all over the place.

It's a simple decision when you come here. Pretty much just choose a spice level. The braised chicken was pretty good. I think it's a good amount of food for the cost. The restaurant was clean and the staff checked on how my meal was, which was delicious. Bottom line, no frills, good food for the value.

I was surprised to only see one item at the menu (different spice levels available). I ordered authentic and it was delicious. The service was good and it didn't take long to get my food.
